you presume to know me
when the crosswalk takes too long
if the church bells don't ring on sundays
and i find out i was wrong

when my flight is delayed
if the elevator is stuck
how you always make me wait
and when i'm told it was luck

if i wake up too late
or get lost on the way
how i always lose my chance
and when you have nothing to say

when i'm judged at first glance
the perfect moment has passed
my hopes are broken down
and you leave me harassed

there's traffic in the town
i can't control my own
when a child is victimized
and i can tell by your tone

i don't like it when
the last thing i say
is the first thing i forget
and the moment i miss you
is the moment i regret [comments] => 3 [counter] => 170 [topic] => 61 [informant] => Calista [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
